There is a comment in alg.red where is is applying patterns which reads....

        % In the non-commutative case we have to be very careful about
        % order of terms in a product. Introducing negative powers
        % solves this problem.
        if noncomp w or not !*mcd then bool := t;

So the introduction of the negative powers is deliberate.  The problem is 
then why it does not resimplify.
